This part of Texas Hill Country is known for flash floods. Why were so many people caught off guard when the river turned violent?

Searches were suspended and a new flash flood warning was issued in Kerrville and Kerr County, Texas, on July 13 in the wake of the flooding that struck the area last week on July 4. The warning was downgraded to a flood watch hours later.

At services in the stricken Hill Country and elsewhere, ministers spoke Sunday morning about sorrow and solace, community and hope, as more rain beat down.

President Donald Trump spoke about the loss of life as a result of the flooding while surrounded by state and city leaders in Kerrville on Friday.

If you would like to volunteer to help with flood recovery, the city said to register in advance online. Registered volunteers are asked to come to Tivy Antler Stadium, located at 1310 Sydney Baker Street in Kerrville. Check-in starts at 8 a.m.

Search crews continued the grueling task of recovering the missing as more potential flash flooding threatened Texas Hill Country.

KERRVILLE, Texas (AP) — More heavy rains in Texas on Sunday temporarily paused a weeklong search for victims of catastrophic flooding along the Guadalupe River and led to high-water rescues elsewhere as officials warned that the downpours could again cause waterways to surge.

A chain-link fence that separates Water Street in the center of Kerrville from the Guadalupe River just a few hundred feet away has become a makeshift memorial, with the flower-covered stretch serving as a focal point for a grieving community.
